Day 358
Day 358 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Dot Ferris has found her weeks unaccountably full. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
